Imagine... finding out six and a half months later that you are pregnant.

Imagine... telling your boyfriend that because of the rape, you are now pregnant.

Imagine... seeing the shock on his face.

Imagine... hearing his words of support, "Whatever you decide I will stick by you."

Imagine... hearing "it's a girl" when you have your first ever sonogram.

Imagine... being admitted into the hospital the next day because of complications.

Imagine... the fear of whether your unborn child will live to breathe her first breath.

Imagine... the millions of thoughts going through your mind - should you keep your baby, should you give her up?

Imagine... the doctor saying that you need to have an emergency c-section because of your complications.

Imagine... a couple hours later, hearing the tiny cries of your 2 lb 14 oz baby girl as they pull her from the womb.

Imagine... looking up to try to see her, and she's so tiny!

Imagine... once you've decided to keep her, the overwhelming fears of being a single mother.

Imagine... how your life will change.

Imagine... seeing your baby girl for the very first time, with total blurred vision.

Imagine... not knowing how long your baby will be in the hospital, and longing to take her home.

Imagine... finding out later that all of the doctors and nurses believed that she would not survive.

Imagine... looking into those tiny eyes with an overwhelming feeling of love and joy.

Imagine... holding her for the very first time, and feeling so scared that you might break her.

Imagine... taking her home with only 3 1/2 weeks of hospitalization.

Imagine... seven months later, looking at her and she smiles and laughs right back.

Imagine... the miracles.
